Nicholas Bergson-Shilcock writes:

Hacker School is a three-month, full-time school in New York forbecoming a better programmer. It’s like a writers retreat for hackers. Tuition is free, and we provide space, a little structure, time to focus, and a friendly community of smart people dedicated to self-improvement.

We strive to make Hacker School the best environment to learn and grow as a programer. Towards that end, we have explicit social rules (e.g., no “well, actuallys,” no “feigning surprise,” no “subtle sexism”), we aim for gender parity (our past two batches were 37-45% female), and we host amazing people as programmers in residence who work directly with students (last batch: Jessica McKellar, Peter Seibel, Alex Payne, Stefan Karpinski, and David Nolen).

Tuition is free, and we provide $5000, need-based grants to women for living expenses.

We value free software, beautiful code, and personal growth. Apply now to be part of our winter 2013 batch, which begins in February.
